Navigating My Weekend.

I'm not new to MFP, but I'm one of those people who will be on the site, then off it again because one excuse or another. Usually my biggest problem that hinders me is my weekends.
I have a routine during the week that keeps me busy- I work two jobs, and go to school full-time. I'm too distracted to be really pigging out, but I monitor my intake regardless. On the weekends the tables turn- I'm either too busy or not busy at all, which leads me to craving and caving. Take this weekend for instance- Tomorrow I'm getting up at 6 to pick up friends and head to a bar to partake in "Breakfast Club." It's basically a buffet for college students before you tailgate. Then I'm going to the actual tailgate, where there will be food galore, then around noon I'm heading to a wine festival with my boyfriend, then after a couple hours I'm heading back to campus to grab my best friend from highschool and have dinner and go out to the bars together. If you didn't notice, there will be a lot of temptations and empty alcohol calories everywhere. I don't know how I'm going to navigate it all- I was wondering if anyone had any tips on it?
But then, on Sunday, I set that aside as my study day- where I'll do nothing but study my butt off and probably work out. But studying for hours gets boring, and before you know it I'll be boredom-snacking. I am going to try to counter-act all the damage I do on the weekend with an awesome workout Sunday, but I just want to attempt to make this weekend both healthy and fun.
Sorry this is super long, but any tips?

I'm attempting that- I even probably over-estimated, but I think that will be safer if I do end up grabbing one too many mimosas and scarfing down too many pancakes. Thank you!0
